Sherrod Brown Goofs and Accidentally Votes Against a Planned Defeat in Iraq
From the Morning Journal:
Oh, the whirlwind life of a U.S. senator. It's apparently enough to dizzy an ardent foe of the Iraq War like our Sen. Sherrod Brown into mistakenly voting opposite to what he'd intended.
That's exactly what happened when Brown cast his vote Tuesday on a measure involving a deadline for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq. Brown favors the deadline but somehow goofed and voted against it, according to an item in The Washington Post. For one amazingly un-Brown moment, our senator had blundered into the Bush camp on Iraq.
Lucky for him, staffers caught Brown's gaffe in time and he was able to correct his vote and help Democrats get their way, much to the dismay of Bush.
Wow- Sherrod Brown almost voted for victory in Iraq and against billions of dollars in pork projects, which were used to bribe members of Congress into voting for this legislation. Its a good thing Brown corrected his vote, and promptly endorsed the planned defeat of America. The Democrat base and the Iraqi insurgents can breathe a sigh of relief now that they know Sherrod is still on their side.
